Features

All Day Comfort

The operator station on the 426 is designed to provide maximum comfort, ease of operation and all day comfort for today’s demanding operator. Designed specifically for the market, the 426 cab features a spacious interior, flat glass and excellent visibility. The cab is wider allowing the operator to freely move when turning from one mode of operation to another. Excellent ergonomics ensure that all controls are within easy reach of the operator, with a tiltable steering column and arm rests available as optional upgrades. Other features include additional storage space, large vents throughout the cab and clear gauges that provide information to the operator to help maximize the machine’s performance. Tinted glass is offered as standard to keep operators comfortable in all environments.

Power Train

The 426 features the Cat 3054C engine (U.S. EPA Tier 2/EU Stage II equivalent) as standard and the Cat C4.4 engine (U.S. EPA Tier 3/EU Stage IIIA equivalent) as optional. The engine is a four cylinder, four stroke direct injection turbo, equipped with standard glow plug starting for optimal cold weather performance. This provides reliable starting performance down to –26° C. An optional cold weather pack is available giving reliable starting performance down to –55° C. The engine also features a gear driven water pump, providing better reliability than conventional belt driven technology.

Axle and Brakes

The 426 rear axle is an enclosed design with a wet multi-plate braking system. The system is oil immersed and self-adjusting, and allows operation in the harshest environments. The rear axle offers 100% Diff-Lock giving increased traction when working on poor ground conditions. This gives increased performance with less wear and tear to tires. The system has dual brake pedals for split braking in confined working spaces. The All Wheel Drive (AWD) is engaged via a front console panel switch or by the brake pedal during all-wheel-braking operation. The AWD can be engaged on the move, under load, in any gear and in forward or reverse. The AWD front axle is pendulum mounted and permanently sealed and lubricated, requiring no daily maintenance. A guard is available to protect the drive shaft increasing the durability of this machine when working in hard rocky environments.

Transmission

The 426 comes equipped with a 40 km/h Power-Shuttle transmission, improving roading speed and providing better spacing between gear ratios. The forward/reverse lever on the steering column is placed for easy directional changes on the move, and the gear selection is from a floor mounted shift lever.

Parallel Lift

The 426 parallel lift loader boasts class leading lift capacities and breakout forces, providing more power and greater productivity. Available with General Purpose Bucket, Multi Purpose Bucket, or Multi Purpose Bucket with Forks, the 426 can be matched precisely to your needs. The parallel lift loader arms make light work of lifting and loading whilst offering excellent forward visibility along with outstanding material retention throughout the lift and lower cycles.
